[QUOTE="WeiserBucks, post: 1387225, member: 97492"] I've taken two deer with 190 grain SMKs out of a 300 WM , one was an accidental neck shot , instant kill . The other was shot through the lungs at approx 175 yards, more than once, with zero expansion. The second deer was recovered after a very rough tracking job . Post mortem revealed small entrance holes , small holes in the lungs and same size exits . Any bullet can fail , but all the bullets sent into that deer failed to expand. I love SMKs for accuracy and ease of load development but I'll never use or recommend them for game again. [/QUOTE]
